Automated post-translation analysis report settings

When there's a change in a project, memoQ can automatically calculate a new post-translation analysis report. This works in projects that you create from project templates.

For example, you can set up a project template to run post-translation analysis automatically after a new document is imported into the project. Then memoQ will do this in all projects that you create from that project template.

Post-translation analysis (PTA) is a report of savings that you have achieved on TM and LiveDocs match rates – after translation is complete.

Normal analysis "predicts" how much you could save on translation memory matches. Post-translation analysis gives you the actual savings.

Post-translation analysis is for finding out how much each translator can bill.

To learn more: See the topic about creating a post-translation analysis report manually.
